Vertical font problem

[paolo inzaghi]

Hi,
I'm porting a Windows application to Wine and I found 2 problems.
For simplicity I wrote a simple Window application (attached to the mail) 
that use two TextOut to write the strings "Horizontal" and "Vertical".
The text is written horizontally and vertically, setting the lfEscapement 
field of the LOGFONT structure respectively to 0 and 900.
The application, compiled with MSVC 7.0, works fine in Windows, but it has 
two problems when it is executed inside with wine-20040408 environment.

First problem:
after the application starts, the two strings are not shown.
To see the strings in Linux, I force the sending of a WM_PAINT message when 
the user right click the mouse.
By the way, if you minimize and then restore the application, the strings 
disappear.

Second problem:
even when shown, the vertical text is not correctly shown. A large amount of 
space is left between the string characters.
Note that the problem arise every time you set the lfEscapement to something 
different from 0.
If I use 3600 to show the "Horizontal" string, it also is badly shown (in 
theory 3600 should be equivalent to 0).

Please, could you help me ?

Regards
Paolo

Can you send the project with the zip file? I don't feel like running 
precompiled binaries in this day and age.
